    I,lost my USB stick.

    Can I use a Clickfree backup drive as a bootable drive? What if it has a lot of backup data on it? Do I need to format it?

    Does the bootable image need to be burned or can I just copy the file to it?

    The drive in Windows O/S must be in C: drive and AFAIK in Windows 10 and UEFI security can't use a bootable USB drive for security protection so that won't work anymore. You can have a format USB Windows 10 installer that I know of.
